Joan's Gardens Challenge

Have you checked out the 12 Days of Christmas SALES at Joan's Gardens??? NO ... Wow ... you need to rush right over and see what she has left. She's 'cleaning' the shop and has some AMAZING bargains for you!!

AND

She's also having a challenge this week!

We are to make a TAG and the theme is ANYTHING GOES!

I thought I'd like to do a Vintage Christmas Tag and while checking out the challenge, I was inspired by Joan's use of the Tim Holtz Tag Die and realized I had that exact die ... so I also used it for my BASE. Here are the other steps I took to quickly create my tag.

1. Covered tag using a scrap of holiday dp.

2. Sponged around the edges with TH Tea Dye Distress Ink.

3. Bordered the edge using a Gold Pilot Marker

4. Cut out the Tim Holtz 'Lamp Post' die using a scrap piece of black cardstock.

The 'lens flare' and snowflakes were computer generated to give that 'added touch' of holiday joy!! LOL!

I hope you'll pop over and check out the sale and Joan's Gardens and join in the challenge fun too!! Before I go I'd like to mention the 12 Days of Christmas FUN going on over at Shelly's Images. Something NEW is happening each day Dec. 1st - 12th with games & prizes to share!!
